I tried to use pomegranate juice without sugar syrup. Not great result.

Used 15ml apricot brandy instead of jam and removed the sugar syrup - it was delicious!

Yes indeed, a bit on the sweet side, with the tartness of the cranberries less pronounced. I think maybe the spoon was too full of jam, and it's sweet, being of the Tiptree variety. I’ll use less jam the next time.
